Apparatus (2) for firing an object, which apparatus (2) comprises a body portion (4), a front fork formation (6), a rear fork formation (8), receptacle means (12) for receiving the object, and resilient means (14) for projecting the receptacle means (12) forwardly in order to fire the object out of the receptacle means (12) and away from the apparatus (2), the resilient means (14) being such that it is connected to the front fork formation (6) and extends rearwardly past the rear fork formation (8), and the distance between the front fork formation (6) and the rear fork formation (8) being such that slack in the resilient means (14) after firing of the apparatus (2) is controlled. |
